Forward March
First post of the year! Yes, I'm assuming there are still souls out there reading this. Blogging? How ancient.
And yup, it's March. That escalated quickly.
Two months passed by and I failed to write my annual year-end review/goal-setting post for the year. Sucks because I've been at it for three years now. (I haven't even thought of a "song" for 2014. Last year's was "Try.") Needless to say, I had a shitty first two months of the year. I don't want to be detailed though. Let's just say I've been busy. Physically and emotionally. I wondered if the rest of the year would be as unbearable as my January and February.
I found myself sipping coffee and doing laundry tonight (yes, on a warm Sunday evening) and thinking of that question that was used in a Nescafe ad, if I recall correctly: "Para saan ka bumabangon?" Always had a good laugh with that one, with all sorts of crazy retorts to that catchy tagline. But for the first time I thought about it in a serious way tonight.
I'm pretty much a flawed person. (My BlackBerry's battery life is killing me and my iPod's Top 25 Most Played List is pretty embarrassing. Okay I digress.) No matter how hard I try at life I tend to fall short and in the process I fail myself and other people more than I've cared to admit [I can't over-emphasize the failing other people part. :(]. Yet three things I know to be true.
I've been better. I can be better. I will be better.
I will work my goddamned hardest to make sure I emerge a better person by the end of this year--career-wise, personality-wise, people-wise. (Haha okay that sounded so ambitious, but whatever, I think I needed to say those last two sentences aloud for me to actually visualize myself doing those things. Yes.)
Life's tough, but I promise to be tougher.
